Our RemembranceJusten Hale unexpectedly departed this world over the course of Thanksgiving weekend 2016 and we are mourning the loss of a soul that could light up the room with his beautiful smile and loving heart.rnrnJusten was a strong, charismatic, witty, loving, hard-working and talented man that made you fall in love with his charm within moments of meeting him. He had a knack for living life to the fullest, a true creationist in his work and an artist in the residential/commercial/recreational painting realm. 2 years ago he began dating Zi (Zulu of Sis-Q Rollerz), and we instantly fell in love with him and his ability to make one of our dearest friends so incredibly happy. Justen was supportive of her, her daughter, her love of roller derby and became one of Sis-Q Rollerz biggest fans. He would eventually become a referee for our league and watching him skate was a pure joy! rnrnAs was watching the two of them build a life together with their blended family of 3 young girls. They would soon come to add a beautiful baby boy who would make this family bond even more incredible, Kangee Hale-Barnes who was born on June 15th, 2016.rnJusten's unexpected passing has left his partner, the love of his life, in a place of immense grieving and mourning. rnrnHe is so greatly missed and in his honor we ask that you alwasy reach out to your friends and family. When they are in a place of despair and depression, encourage them to lift their chin to the light.
